Each year, we celebrate (庆祝)many holidays here in America. On January 1st, we welcome the coming of a new year like many people in other countries. And we have another four holidays on the first day of a month: April Fool's Day, May Day, Friendship Day ( Aug. 1st ) and Grandparents Day ( Sept. 1st ).

The most important holiday for the young people comes in February. It is Valentine's Day. Lots of boys give red roses to girls as a present.

People celebrate some holidays for their family members. We say thanks to our mother in May and celebrate Father's Day in the following(接下来的)month. In November many people return home for Thanksgiving Day, so the whole family can get together.

There are also some interesting holidays for children. For example, Halloween comes at the end of October. Children often play with pumpkin lanterns(南瓜灯)and put on all kinds of masks(面具).

Of course, the most important festival is Christmas. After a year of work and study, people can enjoy a long holiday, eat big meals, and visit families and friends.

It's true that you can learn new words when you read or listen, but you should also study new words seriously. Here are a few things I do:

Make flash cards(识字卡):(A) I find this is really the best way to learn new words. Make some small cards and write the new English word on one side and the word in your language or in easy English on the other side to test yourself. To really make this work, you have to review often(You need a system! ). I think this is the best method for learning English vocabulary.

Make sentences with the new words: This is great if you can ask someone to check them. It's also great to make some really crazy sentences-that way you won't forget them! I also collect example sentences of the words I'm trying to learn一if I see the word in a book, I write down the sentence.

Make up a mnemonic:A mnemonic is a way to remember something, like a little story. For example, (B) 我在厨房的门上贴上单词 kitchen. The problem with this is that it works for a while but then you get used to the words and forget to read them!
